Density 36 · -45 vs Fruits & juices median

Mango nectar carries a Nutrient Density Score of 36 of 100, a Low band result and rank 49 of 60 among Fruits & juices, well below the category median of 81. Its one clear standout is vitamin C at 17% DV per 100 g, a modest carryover from the fruit itself.

Nectar is thinned fruit juice cut with water and usually sugar, meant for drinking straight or mixing into smoothies rather than replacing whole fruit. A 1 cup (251 g) serving carries 12.4 g of sugar and only 0.3 g of fiber, since the pulp and skin that would normally slow the sugar down are largely processed out. Whole fruit, such as raw pears, delivers far more nutrient density for the same effort.
